Prof. Dmitry V Fursa works in the field of computational modeling of quantum reaction processes. He received his PhD in 1995 from the Flinders University of South Australia and has had continuous Australian Research Council (ARC) funding since 1996. He was awarded an ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship (1996), an ARC Research Fellowship (1999), and an ARC Future Fellowship (2010). He is part of the team that was awarded six ARC Discovery projects and the ARC Center of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies. He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2012. Prof. Dmitry V Fursa has been working at Curtin University since 2007, where he conducts an active research program, teaches several undergraduate units, and supervises undergraduate and PhD students. Two of Prof. Fursa’s PhD students have won the WA Premier’s Young Scientist of the Year Award (2014, 2021). The research program aims to model the interactions of light particles (electrons, positrons, and photons) with atoms, ions, and molecules. The emphasis is placed on providing comprehensive collision datasets that are widely used in fusion research, astrophysics, health science, and the lighting industry. Prof Fursa’s group maintain a dedicated open-access web database of molecular collision data.
